Beer promotes differentiation and mineralization of human osteoblastic cells: Role of silicon

Silicon (Si) is an essential element for bone metabolism and beer is one of the richest sources of orthosilicic acid (OSA), the readily bioavailable form of Si. In this work, we compared the in vitro pro-anabolic effects on human osteoblastic cells of OSA and beer. We determined the optimal OSA conc...
